Baby Ghetto Names
What do you consider ghetto? When surfing one of the many baby names websites that are constantly showing up around the internet, I found an article or it was more like a blog post about what was considered ghetto names.
I didn’t really understand what the point of the post was but there where several people that participated and gave their version of what they considered “Ghetto”. Before going into why I believe that the poster asked the question here is the list that they came up with. Please be aware that I am not commenting on whether or not these names are good or bad names or whether or not they can be considered “ghetto”. I am only referencing the list they came up with. So here goes:

The Point
I can only guess and I might not be right but I think that the person asking the question might have had some concerns about naming his or her child something that might be considered a ghetto name and thereby assigning the common viewpoint of that name to the child unfairly.
I would imagine that some people might judge other people solely by their name and that might give that child a disadvantage that wasn’t necessary and could have been avoided with a “not ghetto name”. Again I can only guess but that is what I think.
Please feel free to give me your suggestions as to what you consider ghetto names and whether you would take it into consideration before naming your child. If you would please explain why.
